Again, at first blush you are right, Ehud. It would be annoying. On the
other hand, wrapping a long line is just a display glitch, and the
display proposed by Eli is just more consistent.
I think what you want is visual-line-mode, and yes, this one would have
to tackle this job in the presence of R2L (i don't dare to think too
closely about *that*, my head starts to spin agein :)
